When this opened with a long, long, long scene of Misael Saavedra chainsawing wood in a forest, my first thought was: “Ah yes, we're in familiar TIFF Wavelengths territory right now.” To be clear, I liked this movie quite a bit.
Directed by Lisandro Alonso

In a Violent Nature without the kills, just people vibing in the woods (not all vibes are good vibes) — gorgeously shot on 35mm with natural light
It follows an independent logger living a quiet life in the woods whose routine is upended by an unexpected family responsibility.
It was directed by Lisandro Alonso in 2026, known for his distinct approach to minimalist, slow-paced art cinema.
The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in the Directors' Fortnight section.
